"holy crap"

Sound:
Unbelievable sound quality for the price and for the range of improvements it can make in your final mix. The individual components are really useful and sound great on their own, too...for example, the Mastering Reverb is way better than all the cheesy reverbs in Logic Express.
Feature:
Kind of overwhelming at first, but the presets help you understand the features and how they interact.
Ease of Use:
You can start from the dozens of presets and get a good-sounding master in about 5 minutes.
Quality:
Stable, responsive, reasonable CPU usage
Value:
$200 for this kind of sound is ridiculously cheap.
Overall:
If you have any interest in making decent-sounding demos or home studio tracks, as I do, then it's pretty indispensable. Dunno what I did without it...

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"Know what you want before you buy....Great Product for me!"

Sound:
I used this application for every song. Any mix will become better once you throw this plug-in on it. Even after I completely finish mixing a track and think it sounds the best it could, I'm proven wrong with this. Any thing you can imagine is achieveable with Ozone.
Feature:
The presets that come with it are great and work well with just a few tweaks with just about anything. There's also tons of presets to download from the website.
Ease of Use:
I don't get whats so hard to figure out about this program. Once I installed it, I just opened up either Cubase or Fl Studio and it was available as one of the vst plug-ins. You only get out of it what you put in also. If you don't know how to really work a compressor or read a frequency spectrum then you're wasting your time buying this product. Learn to work a lower end multiband compressor, limiter or equalizer before paying for this.
Quality:
I can't really imagine something thats all that much better of a mastering plugin. Great buy.
Value:
$200 is alot for a plugin, but its worth it.
Manufacturer Support:
Never needed them.
